Nikki Glaser Sets Hulu Comedy Special

Nikki Glaser is bringing her comedy to Hulu for her next stand-up special.

The hour-long comedy event is a big get for Hulu, amid a bidding war for Glaser’s next stand-up offering following both the Golden Globes and Netflix‘s The Roast of Tom Brady.

The special, which will premiere in 2026, comes in the wake of Glaser becoming the first female solo host of a Golden Globe Awards telecast, and being asked to return to emcee the popular film and TV awards ceremony for January 2026.

The upcoming Hulu special will be shot in Glaser’s hometown of St. Louis, Missouri, over two nights at the Fabulous Fox Theatre later this month. That will follow the Emmy, Grammy and Golden Globe-nominated comedian having done two HBO comedy specials in three years: 2022’s Good Clean Filth and 2024’s Nikki Glaser: Someday You’ll Die.

Glaser, already a roast show veteran, saw a stand-up comedy career boost from a killer set during Netflix’s 2024 The Roast of Tom Brady, which aired live and unedited.

Her Hulu special will stream on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ for bundle subscribers in the U.S., and on Disney+ internationally. The stand-up set, to be directed by long-standing Super Bowl halftime show helmer Hamish Hamilton, will be produced by Done + Dusted. Glaser will executive produce alongside Hamilton, David Jammy and Chris Convy and Alex Murray.

Glaser recently wrapped her international The Good Girl stand-up tour, followed by the U.S., Canada and Australia legs of her Alive and Unwell tour.

Glaser joins comedians booking Hulu specials like Jim Gaffigan, Ilana Glazer, Roy Wood Jr., Chris Distefano, Bill Burr, Jessica Kirson, Matteo Lane, Atsuko Okatsuka,  Zarna Garg, Ralph Barbosa and Andrew Santino. Hulu also has upcoming specials from Frankie Quinones, Sebastian Maniscalco, and Kumail Nanjiani. The latter’s Night Thoughts special arrives Dec. 19.

Glaser is represented by UTA and Brillstein.
